@WillSawin There are indeed six users with names of the form "... Path" (Human Path, etc.), all with the same description. I don't think awarding bounties on each others' posts is against the rules, but it is skirting the boundary (and jumping right past it if they use it to artificially decrease the costs of the bounties).
@cardinal This is probably OP, but I cannot imagine posting a question on MO without spending at least a day thinking about it to see if it is really nontrivial. And even so, I'd probably spend at least 20 minutes writing the question, to make sure I am satisfied with its formulation. In this light, you'll see why your "someone could produce a question every ten minutes" strikes me as ridiculous at best.
@StefanKohl Comments are really inconvenient to use if the discussion goes beyond 3-4 comments, chat has features like clearly indicating which message you 're replying to, possibility to embed images etc. which are useful. Ideally all discussions on a post would be quick and on point, but we're not living in an ideal world.
@Wolfgang Note also that when the discussion is between three or more people the system suggests to move it to a chatroom much later, so that this problem is relatively rare. But it does happen, and it should be fixed.
@Wolfgang Yeah, I totally agree. I hope terdon's post on meta.SE produces some results (although with the usual reaction times of SE I wouldn't hold my breath). In any case, if anyone has the same problem, feel free to ping me and I'll fix it if I can.
@DmitriPavlov It's fairly easy to link to the chat discussions in the comments to the answer, and there's even a button to create a dedicated chatroom with an automatic link attached to the answer. But, of course, it's up to the participants in the discussion.
I agree with @CarloBeenakker: the method by which the edits were done is essentially irrelevant compared to the edits themselves. As long as the frequency is low enough to avoid flooding the front page, I don't see any problem.
I'm actually more than happy with the current MO header. Moreover the header is not in view for most of the navigation throughout the site (even when looking at the main page, the header is quickly hidden by scrolling). Maybe some art in the side bar is a good idea, though what kind of art I cannot fathom...
@jeq That removes rounded corners everywhere. To remove them only on the boxes in the question list it suffices to add 'border-radius: 0px ! important;' in all the corresponding sections
Last comment and then I'll shut up: the old color used to be #fff5de, but I cannot literally see any improvement with it, so I don't see any reason to change it. If people want it though I can easily add it.
@DavidRoberts I never changed it, so you still have question highlighting. It is true that the color is very light, so you might want to replace it with something else. In that case, yes it is possible, but which color (hex code, please) would you like to use?
